Genesis 27
1 Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.
Og det hændte sig, der Isak blev gammel, og hans Øjne bleve dunkle, at han ikke kunde se, da kaldte han sin ældste Søn, Esau, og sagde til ham: Min Søn! og han sagde til ham: Se, her er jeg.
2 And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:
Og han sagde: Se nu, jeg er gammel og ved ikke min Dødsdag.
3 So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;
Saa tag nu dine Redskaber, dit Kogger og din Bue, gak ud paa Marken og fang mig noget Vildt!
4 And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.
Og tilbered mig en god Ret, saasom jeg har Lyst til, og bring mig den, at jeg maa æde, paa det min Sjæl maa velsigne dig, før jeg skal dø.
5 Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.
Og Rebekka hørte, der Isak talede til Esau, sin Søn; saa gik Esau paa Marken at fange noget Vildt, at bære hjem.
6 And Rebekah said to Jacob, her son, Your father said to your brother Esau in my hearing,
Da sagde Rebekka til Jakob, sin Søn, sigende: Se, jeg hørte din Fader tale til Esau, din Broder, og sige:
7 Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.
Hent mig noget Vildt og tilbered mig en god Ret, at jeg kan æde, saa vil jeg velsigne dig for Herrens Ansigt, førend jeg dør.
8 Now, my son, do what I say.
Saa adlyd nu min Røst, min Søn! eftersom jeg befaler dig.
9 Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:
Gak nu til Hjorden og hent mig derfra to gode Gedekid, at jeg kan tilberede din Fader en god Ret af dem, saasom han har Lyst til.
10 And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.
Og den skal du bære til din Fader, at han skal æde deraf, paa det han skal velsigne dig, førend han dør.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:
Da sagde Jakob til Rebekka, sin Moder: Se, Esau, min Broder, er en laadden Mand, og jeg er en glat Mand.
12 If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of a blessing.
Maaske min Fader føler paa mig, og jeg vil synes for ham som en Bedrager og føre Forbandelse over mig og ikke Velsignelse.
13 And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.
Da sagde hans Moder til ham: Din Forbandelse komme over mig, min Søn! lyd kun min Røst og gak, hent mig dem!
14 So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.
Da gik han og hentede og bragte sin Moder dem; saa tilberedte hans Moder en god Ret, saasom hans Fader havde Lyst til.
15 And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:
Og Rebekka tog Esaus, sin ældste Søns, kostelige Klæder, som hun havde i Huset hos sig, og lod Jakob, sin yngste Søn, iføre sig dem.
16 And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck:
Men Skindene af Gedekiddene iførte hun ham om hans Hænder, og hvor han var glat paa Halsen.
17 And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.
Og hun gav ham den gode Ret og Brød, som hun havde tilberedt, i sin Søn Jakobs Haand.
18 And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who are you, my son?
Og han gik til sin Fader og sagde: Min Fader! og han sagde: Se, her er jeg; hvo er du, min Søn?
19 And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
Og Jakob sagde til sin Fader: Jeg, Esau, din førstefødte, har gjort, saasom du sagde til mig; kære, staa op, sæt dig og æd af mit Vildt, paa det din Sjæl skal velsigne mig.
20 And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.
Da sagde Isak til sin Søn: Hvorledes har du saa snart fundet det, min Søn? og han sagde: Fordi Herren din Gud skikkede mig det til Hænde.
21 And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.
Da sagde Isak til Jakob: Kom dog nær hid, og jeg vil føle paa dig, min Søn! om du er min Søn Esau eller ej.
22 And Jacob went near his father Isaac: and he put his hands on him; and he said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Og Jakob gik nær til sin Fader Isak, og han følte paa ham og sagde: Røsten er Jakobs Røst, men Hænderne ere Esaus Hænder.
23 And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.
Og han kendte ham ikke, thi hans Hænder vare laadne som Esaus, hans Broders, Hænder; og han velsignede ham.
24 And he said, Are you truly my son Esau? And he said, I am.
Og han sagde: Du, er du denne min Søn Esau? og han sagde: Jeg er det.
25 And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.
Da sagde han: Bring mig det hid og lad mig æde af min Søns Vildt, at min Sjæl skal velsigne dig; saa bragte han ham det, og han aad, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
26 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, my son, and give me a kiss.
Og Isak, hans Fader, sagde til ham: Kære, kom nærmere og kys mig, min Søn!
27 And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:
Og han kom nærmere og kyssede ham; og han lugtede Lugten af hans Klæder og velsignede ham og sagde: Se, min Søns Lugt er som Lugten af en Mark, hvilken Herren har velsignet.
28 May God give you the dew of heaven, and the good things of the earth, and grain and wine in full measure:
Og Gud give dig af Himmelens Dug og af Jordens Fedme og meget Korn og Most.
29 Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.
Folkene skulle tjene dig, og Folkefærd skulle falde dig til Fode. Bliv en Herre over dine Brødre, og din Moders Sønner skulle falde dig til Fode; hvo som forbander dig, være forbandet, og hvo som velsigner dig, være velsignet!
30 And when Isaac had come to the end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had not long gone away from Isaac his father, Esau came in from the field.
Og det skete, der Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, da Jakob lige var gaaet ud fra sin Fader Isak, at Esau, hans Broder, kom fra sin Jagt.
31 And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
Og han tilberedte ogsaa en god Ret og bragte den ind til sin Fader og sagde til sin Fader: Min Fader staa op og æde af sin Søns Vildt, at din Sjæl skal velsigne mig.
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your oldest son, Esau.
Da sagde Isak, hans Fader til ham: Hvo er du? og han sagde: Jeg er din Søn, din førstefødte, Esau.
33 And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?
Da forfærdedes Isak med en overmaade stor Forfærdelse og sagde: Hvo er dog den, som fangede Vildt og frembar til mig? og jeg aad af alt, før du kom, og jeg har velsignet ham; og han skal ogsaa være velsignet.
34 And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, O my father!
Der Esau hørte sin Faders Tale, da skreg han med et stort og overmaade bittert Skrig og sagde til sin Fader: Velsign mig, ogsaa mig, min Fader!
35 And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.
Og han sagde: Din Broder kom med List og tog din Velsignelse.
36 And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?
Da sagde han: Mon man derfor har kaldet hans Navn Jakob, fordi han nu har to Gange bedraget mig? min Førstefødselsret har han taget, og se, nu tog han min Velsignelse; og han sagde: Har du ikke bevaret mig en Velsignelse?
37 And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?
Og Isak svarede og sagde til Esau: Se, jeg har sat ham til en Herre over dig og gjort alle hans Brødre til hans Tjenere og forsørget ham med Korn og Most, hvad skal jeg da gøre ved dig, min Søn?
38 And Esau said to his father, Is that the only blessing you have, my father? give a blessing to me, even me! And Esau was overcome with weeping.
Og Esau sagde til sin Fader: Har du ikke uden denne ene Velsignelse, min Fader? velsign mig, ogsaa mig, min Fader! og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
39 Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:
Da svarede Isak, hans Fader, og sagde til ham: Se, din Bolig skal være uden Jordens Fedme og uden Himmelens Dug fra oven ned.
40 By your sword will you get your living and you will be your brother's servant; but when your power is increased his yoke will be broken from off your neck.
Og ved dit Sværd skal du leve og tjene din Broder, og det skal ske, naar du bliver ustyrlig, da skal du bryde hans Aag af din Hals.
41 So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing; and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near; then I will put my brother Jacob to death.
Og Esau var Jakob hadsk for den Velsignelses Skyld, som hans Fader havde velsignet ham med, og Esau sagde i sit Hjerte: Det kommer snart, at vi skulle sørge for min Fader, da vil jeg slaa Jakob, min Broder, ihjel.
42 Then Rebekah, hearing what Esau had said, sent for Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, It seems that your brother Esau is purposing to put you to death.
Og Esaus, hendes ældste Søns, Ord bleve Rebekka tilkendegivne; og hun sendte hen og lod Jakob, sin yngste Søn, kalde, og sagde til ham: Se, Esau, din Broder, vil trøste sig med at slaa dig ihjel.
43 So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;
Og nu, min Søn, hør min Røst og staa op, fly til Laban, min Broder, i Karan,
44 And be there with him for a little time, till your brother's wrath is turned away;
og bliv hos ham nogen Tid, indtil din Broders Hidsighed lægger sig,
45 Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?
indtil din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer det, du har gjort ham, saa vil jeg sende Bud og hente dig derfra; hvi skulde jeg dog berøves eder begge paa en Dag?
46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?
Og Rebekka sagde til Isak: Jeg kedes ved at leve for Heths Døtres Skyld; dersom Jakob tog en Hustru af Heths Døtre, som disse af dette Lands Døtre, hvad skulde jeg da leve for?
